Travel+&+Transportation

=**Ideas for teaching Travel and Transportation:**=


 * 1. Pack Your Bags:** Students are given a graphic organizer that looks like an open suitcase. They draw in items they plan to take with them on the trip. In groups, students explain what is in their suitcase and why they are bringing it. Can be a written activity as well.


 * 2. Flight Simulation:** Chairs are set up in the classroom to simulate the inside of an airplane. The teacher or designated student(s) act as the flight attendants and give the directions to the passengers. The simulation can begin with a desk set up as the check in area where passports are presented, etc. Even a customs station can be set up. Passengers are responsible for navigating their way through the process in the target language.


 * 3. Trip Chronology:** Students are given sentence strips with an event that takes place in the planning, execution, and follow-up to a trip. They are to decide the order in which to stand so that the events are logically arranged.


 * 4. Plan an itinerary:** Students use online resources to plan all phases of a trip to a target language country.
